"I stumble on a recent study by Bondarenko et al. (2024) that demonstrated that
some large language models (LLMs) agents, when tasked with winning a chess
match, resorted to deceptive strategies, such as modifying game files or
confusing the opponent engine to ensure victory.
The rise of LLMs has reignited the debate about artificial intelligence and
cognition. Are LLMs, such as GPT-4, truly thinking in a way comparable to human
intelligence? Or are they just statistical machines, processing text without
understanding it?
This raises an intriguing question: Is this deception intentional reasoning, or
merely an emergent artifact of optimization?
Using insights from leading thinkers—Ray Kurzweil, Daniel Kahneman, Judea
Pearl, Douglas Hofstadter, and Jeff Hawkins, along with this latest AI
research, we will unpack this question in a nuanced way."
